I've attached an external hard drive to my etch AMD64 box, booted

Now I can't boot my box without the external drive attached,
because grub complains with "error 21."
So boot into AMD64 with the drive attached, then grub-install
/dev/path-to-internal-drive.
This doesn't work:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo grub-install /dev/sdc
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
/usr/sbin/grub-install: line 484: /usr/sbin/grub: cannot execute binary file

/usr/sbin/grub-install: line 484: /usr/sbin/grub: cannot execute binary file
The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
Maybe this is related to my original problem of not being able to chroot
into that i386 system:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo chroot /mnt/debinst /bin/bash
chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error
I got into this thread late... but this is the error that you get when
the chrooted disk is not mounted with -o exec
